Yes, that really is the same dog before and after! Eli was a big thick curly matted dog that we could not really tell what breed he might be. After a trip to the groomer's we got back this gorgeous pekapoo! Eli is a fabulous dog and is so happy and easy. He is about 5 years old, in great health, weighs about 15lbs. and is a lot of fun. Eli loves people and other dogs, he love to play fetch and go for walks and be a cuddle bug. Eli is game for anything, he will jump in the car with you, go for a ride, sit patiently and wait for you and never makes a fuss or a mess. He does not shed so will need regular groomings to keep this handsome look. Please go to www.peanutsplacerescue.org for an application and read the Important Information page.
